Typographical and Grammatical Corrections

Under paragraph 27(c) of the Act, the Minister of Justice has the power, in maintaining the consolidation that is found on this Website, to correct grammatical and typographical errors, provided the correction does not change the substance of the enactment.

From time to time, typographical or grammatical errors will occur in legislation. Since amendments to the Act came into force on June 1, 2009, the Department of Justice has kept a record of corrections made under paragraph 27(c).

The Department of Justice will publish, at least annually on this Website, a comprehensive report listing corrections made under paragraph 27(c). This is to increase transparency and access to justice by better informing Canadians about administrative corrections to federal legislation.
